Ingredients

  • 4 large chicken thighs, bone in and skin on
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 ounces prosciutto, cut into pieces
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups dry white wine

  • 4 sage leaves, minced
  • 1 bundle of thyme tied with butchers twine

How To Make chicken canzanese

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Add olive oil to a large skillet and add the prosciutto. Cook until browned. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  • Step 2
    With a slotted spoon, remove the prosciutto and garlic and set aside. Add the chicken skin side down and cook until browned and crispy on the skin side, about 10 minutes.
  • Step 3
    Turn the chicken and cook 2 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.
  • Step 4
    Sprinkle the flour over the fat in the pan and cook for 1 minute. Add the wine and broth and bring to a simmer.
  • Step 5
    Cook for 5 minutes to reduce a bit. Add the rosemary, sage, and thyme bundle.
  • Step 6
    Add the chicken back to the pan, skin side up. Add the prosciutto and garlic back to the pan.
  • Step 7
    Place the pan in the oven and bake for about an hour.
  • Step 8
    Remove from the oven and remove the chicken from the sauce. Throw the thyme bundle away.
  • Step 9
    Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and simmer 5 minutes.
  • Step 10
    Whisk in the butter and lemon. Serve the sauce over the chicken.
